To Dust is a durational performance which tracks the journey from a therapeutic process, working hands-on with the earth itself, through to the obsessive and frustrating overworking of the material to fruitlessly produce nothing more than dust and how that process reacts with my body. Using the heat from my hands and a 10kg block of unfired clay, I center my own mental health alongside the act of making and existing as an artist.
